About this listen

In today's world, customers don't want to hear sales pitches, but many salespeople still rely on them. In this breakthrough audiobook, Steve Yastrow, founder of a successful business strategy consulting firm, asks us to throw out everything we've been taught about pitching to customers. His advice: "Tear up your sales pitch and instead improvise persuasive conversations."

Ditch the Pitch is an essential listen for salespeople, business managers, and anyone wishing to persuade those around them. Organized into six habits, each consisting of three practices necessary for mastery, Ditch the Pitch is designed to teach Yastrow's approach to fresh, spontaneous, persuasive conversations. These new skills will show the listener how to identify the details that make each customer unique and subsequently navigate a conversation that focuses on the right message for the right customer at the right time.

Throughout the book, the author quotes well-known improv comedians and musicians and translates the techniques these artists use when improvising to create persuasive situations with customers. With the new confidence Ditch the Pitch offers, you will become master of the art of on-the-spot, engaging, and effective customer interactions. Let go of prewritten scripts and embrace Yastrow's guidelines for effortlessly enabling spontaneous conversations that persuade customers to say yes.

While there are good points here, I suspect salespeople who fear "no" and objections might misread this and begin acting like business psychologists.

All about the balance

I was impressed by the new outlook on selling and thinking more conversation.

I clearly saw why people ran away from Logic from both sides of the coin (seller & buyer)

I will never think of selling the same and it confirms why ALL sales pitches suck.

Wow!

I genuinely enjoyed this take on sales conversations.

The ability to improvise and allow the conversation to happen is something that the majority of “sales professionals” are lacking.

You have to trust in your abilities and knowledge to herd the cat that is your customer.

This was a fun listen but I need to admit…

I will never not think improv kids aren’t dorks

The subtle dance of conversation

This book helps relate how improve can help make the selling process smooth and not awkward. Scripts are nice to build confidence and have an idea of what to say but improve is more natural and will always bring forth a more favorable outcome.

Well said.

As a real estate agent, I wish I read this book a long time ago and apply everything that he teaches. It’s never too late, and I will come back and re-listen to it at least every other month because the knowledge he shares can help me thrive and close more deals.

Perfect book for any salesperson
